Dr. Yadao was the one to see me. She didn't even really bother to listen to my symptoms. She heard "runner" and "knee" and went directly to "IT Band Syndrome". I've been treating that for months and months and my knee issue has only been getting worse. She saw me for 5 minutes, assumed the easiest answer, and then kept recommending I go to her friend who is a physical therapist, despite having my own physical therapist who is already amazing. No other treatment discussion other than going to her physical therapist friend. This doctor visit was kind of a waste of time, other than getting an MRI order out of it.

My Dr. Was very thorough and professional, immediately treated me, once she came to the room where I was waiting. She was patient, understanding and accommodating.

Dr warned me of how steroids would affect my diabetes negatively and recommended we start with an anti inflammatory yet she called in steroids to the pharmacy

Dr. Yadao is excellent. I first went to her two years ago. Her expertise was so great that of course I went back to her when I developed new injuries.
